naked before him. Sure, he still wore his leathers, shoved down around his thighs, but if this was his first time with a woman, he deserved the whole experience.
He swore at the sight of her, the alien curse sharp in the heated silence of the small cabin. His eyes darkened as his hands slid from her hips, up the sides of her waist to cup her breasts.
She moaned and arched into him, letting her head fall back. Their hips rocked together, each slide of skin on skin sending her higher. He filled her, pressing against nerve endings she hadn’t known she had and going deeper, harder than any lover she’d had before. Within seconds she was on the edge again.
With a gasp, she covered his hands with hers, catching his gaze as her movements sped up. Perhaps because of her body starting to tighten around his, he didn’t need it spelled out. With a rumbled growl, he yanked her closer, claiming her lips in a deep, hard kiss. His large hand spread out over the back of her hips as he sped up, driving up into her harder. Faster. Until she cried out, a second, blinding release crashing through her and stealing all reason.
In the middle of the glorious ecstasy, she felt him move still. His thrusts were more powerful, as if driven by the force of her release. Then, with a gasp, he tore his lips from hers, slamming his hips up against hers a last time before he stiffened. He exploded deep within her, a white-hot heat as he bathed her inner walls with his seed. Pulse after pulse, until, when she thought it would never end, he shivered and relaxed.
For a moment they just lay there, as if stunned by the strength of what had occurred between them. Then his arms stole around her and he held her to him.
“That was…” His lips brushed her temple, his hand smoothing down the bared length of her back. “I have no words.”
She snorted, her eyes closed as she savored the closeness. “Cop out.”
“No… not that.” He paused and she thought that was it, but then, after a minute or so, he spoke again. “That was the closest to heaven I ever expected to experience. You are a goddess brought to life to bless me. A goddess of beauty and delight, as delicate as the Neranitis flower and far too good for a mere warrior such as me.”
She smiled against the skin of his chest, not inclined to move. It seemed her stick-in-the-ass sexy alien had both a dominant and a lyrical side…

“You people sure as hell find out of the bloody way places to park your shuttles.”
Nyek hid his smile at Indra’s grumble as they headed up the slope. Their destination wasn’t far off now. When the storm had cleared enough for him to use the shuttle’s scanners, they had revealed the crashed shuttle they were looking for was merely a few hours flight from their original landing place in the forest. It was hidden in the foothills of the mountain range that dominated this continent.
However, after a flyby he’d realized there wasn’t anywhere near their target large or stable enough to land their shuttle. The only option was to land lower down in the foothills and make the last part of the journey on foot.
Indra had grumbled every step of the way. It wasn’t that she was unfit. She didn’t seem at all fazed by the physical exertion. She just seemed to like the sound of her own voice. And to nag at him.
“Well,” he said, jumping from one boulder up to a higher one before turning to offer her his hand. “I will be sure to send a message to the original pilot that you don’t approve of where he crash-landed.”
“They crashed here?”
Her face was a picture of surprise as he pulled her up easily, taking the opportunity to take her into his arms and kiss her. She didn’t fight him anymore, parting her lips and surrendering to him immediately, which brought forth a rumble of approval from the back of his throat.
He drew out the kiss, drinking from her lips, and rewarded her with long, sensual strokes of his tongue against hers. Then he added small nips against her full, lower lip. He’d discovered she liked that. Her breathing altered, becoming shorter and faster. She pressed herself against him… all the clues he’d worked out meant she was turned on. That he’d aroused her and turned
